Equipment

Ingredients
  

Vanilla Cookies

  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted

Instructions
 

Vanilla Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla paste until incorporated.
  • Alternately add the dry and buttermilk to the butter-egg mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  • Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake the cookies for about 10-11 minutes or until set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese, unsalted butter, and vanilla bean paste until light and fluffy. Pour in the powdered sugar and mix until fluffy and combined.
  • Pipe, scoop, or spread the frosting onto the bottom half of the cooled cookies. Top each with the remaining cookies to form a sandwich.
